TESTING TESTING.....

Today, at 2pm I will be taking a REALLY BIG test. If anyone speaks to me on a daily basis, they'd know that im officially shitting a brick over this one. I havent had to take a test in a million years. Well im lying, I took one last year to get my motorcycle permit and I failed the first time. Whoa, did I just really say that out loud? Yeah I did. Well it wasnt fair because I read the book the week before and never refreshed, the line was short and I figured what the hell, Im at the dmv anyway working out my license, might as well give it a go, right?
WRONG.
They called my name 10 minutes after I handed in my paper. "you failed" she said as she scribbled a big red X on the page and tossed it into the loser bin, "NEXT!" she screamed as she shoved another cookie into her mouth. I made the "awwww.....really?" face, she stared at me blankly and said "YEAH". I was humiliated, she on the other hand was hungry and uninterested.

What im getting at here, is that I dont do well on tests. I dont have a photographic memory at all. If I did, id be okay today, seeing as though there are 85 slide identifications. Did I study? YES for the last 2 days. Do I know it? A little, meaning I can identify about 7 slides. Will I go blank the minute I sit down with the test? ABSOLUTELY. In high school, I did okay, the teachers loved me so that always helped. In this class I am a student ID number on a paper. It like roll call and Im the one with the hard one to remember right in the middle of the sheet. My stomach is usally growling in class because its at such a strange time, that I forget to eat, so if anything, Id be known as the girl whose stomach sounds like its eating itself, but even THAT is highly doubtful.


Its strange because with other stuff I have a really good memory. I can retain the really trivial stuff. Like, the random line from DIRTY DANCING, when EUGENE suggests that Johnny dance to the PACHENGA during the closing ceremony at the end of the summer. Or that ear lobes are vestigial structures, meaning we have no actual use for them on a medical level. Cool, huh? I KNOW!!!


I hope I pass this thing. Kill me, Im starting to sound like those people I hated in school that would come in saying that they didnt know anything, because they "didnt study" and then miraculously they pull a 94 and theyre shocked. That was never me. If I said I didnt study, I didnt and I was screwed.

Whatever, we shall see today if this ginko biloba does what it really claims to do. I started taking it 2 months ago because I forget stuff. Supposedly it "boosts memory." Yep, grasping at straws.

I will leave you with this very apropos song...
